All,
All I could attach was three pictures - hopefully they will come through. The Apparition was a day I had been looking forward to for years and I was not disappointed.
6:07 PM
We are at the Apparition Site – we have been here thirty minutes already and the Apparition begins at 10:00 PM. From where I sit, I could possibly touch her. The sun just went crazy – all kinds of colors – amazing place. For ten minutes, I could not say the rosary and I was leading the English side along with another group doing Spanish. Mary from California was sitting next to me and leading also.

While again Mary and I were leading the rosary, a Host, the Eucharist – absolutely unbelievable, covered the sun. It lasted three to five minutes. Now it has changed into a Host with a reddish hue around it symbolizing I believe the Body and Blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now, I and others maybe able to explain a dancing sun due to atmospheric conditions or whatever, but how do you explain the sun being covered by the Host? This is a special place.

It happened again – a Host covered the sun – absolutely amazing. This is shaping up to be quite a night. We are praying in many languages with much singing and now music to go with the singing.
7:35 PM
Again the Host covered the only this time in a Monstrance like for Exposition of the Eucharist in Adoration. We came early to wait on Mary and to have a good seat – our reward a wonderful show by the sun – The sun turning into the Son of God.
(During this sequence of extra-ordinary events the Lord spoke to my heart with these words - "When you were a little boy, they use to ring the bells three times at Consecration. You have just seen the host in three different ways. You came to see me face to face on my mountain top. You see me face to face each morning at Mass at consecration." - It is difficult for me not to cry at Consecration since my Pilgrimage. In fact, since my pilgrimage I have been given the gift of tears although my wife does not consider that to be much of a gift for a guy. When people do good things in person or in movies or when I feel totally overcome by the Spirit of God - I cry - every since I went on my pilgrimage.)
8:25 PM
The sun has just about set - people from all over the world are praying the rosary in different languages, English, Spanish, Italian, Indonesian, Korean, Croatian, French, plus many other languages that have not led the rosary yet. If the world could pray together there would be no war – only peace – Mary is the way to peace – her rosary.
June 10 - Midnight – 12:00 AM
A recap of what happened. We did the Divine Mercy Chaplet, then more songs, than Ivan came with his prayer group. He requested no pictures. We sang songs for thirty minutes till 9:30 PM than said the Joyful Mysteries. At that point, it was very dark and faces could not be seen even up close. The area is not lighted. I am on a wall not more than ten feet from him near the statue of Mary. I’m probably in over 1,000 pictures as people have been taking pictures of the statue all night long. I hope they like the beard.
Then at 10:00 PM, the prayer group got on their knees in front of the statue of Mary and the Blue cross along with everyone else. We also got on our knees, but we have very little space. It is dark so we don’t know what is happening, then five minutes go by and the apparition is over. I am disappointed. I did not see or feel anything. Carolina, our friend from Mexico City, says look at my camera light and in the camera light used to focus the camera you can see silver sprinkles falling to the ground from the sky (They look like little crosses when blown up). Now I know for sure Mary was there even if I did not see or feel her. I quickly grab my camera and take several pictures. Little did I realize that there would be a picture of an orb caught in a photo just after Mary left. Below is a reverse negative of the orb picture with many other circles in the picture. I was surprised the next morning when I went on the Internet to send my family my daily up date to see my picture on the headlines of http://www.(linking to this site is not allowed)

Ivan’s Prayer Group Apparition at the Blue Cross
Taken at the Blue Cross tonight, on June 9, 2008. These are the treasured seats of pilgrims who desire to be as close as possible to Our Lady in Her apparitions at the Blue Cross. Visionary, Ivan, kneels right in front of this statue of Our Lady, and it is here that Our Lady appears. For these coveted seats, pilgrims will arrive four or more hours ahead of the time of Our Lady’s apparition. Sitting on these sharp, hard stones also gives the opportunity to offer a sacrifice of love for Our Lady, and yet, rarely will you see anyone complain. They know that there are several hundred other pilgrims who would gladly exchange their place.
Pilgrims started arriving at the Blue Cross several hours before Ivan would have his prayer group apparition. Prayer began amongst the pilgrims just after 6:00 p.m., praising the Rosary in preparation for the normal daily apparition time. The Rosary was prayed in English and Spanish and at 6:40 p.m. everyone paused for at least 7 minutes for silent prayer. The Rosary then continued through the mysteries, eventually adding Italian, French and Croatian to the Spanish and English. Songs were being sung between each decade. This continued until Ivan’s prayer group began.
It was a beautiful evening, as all those present watched the day slowly turn into night. The moon was shining brightly and the closer it came to apparition time, the more stars appeared in the sky. By 8:00 p.m. there were 200-300 pilgrims present, but soon after a steady stream continued to come from all directions, filling up the surrounding areas around the Blue Cross. By the time Our Lady appeared, there were 2000 to 3000 pilgrims present at the Blue Cross. At 9:30 p.m., Ivan began the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary in preparation for Our Lady’s coming. Our Lady appeared to Ivan at 10:00 p.m. and stayed for several minutes. The following is Ivan’s description of the apparition.
Tonight Our Lady came joyful and happy. At the beginning, as always, She greeted us with Her Motherly greeting, “Praised be Jesus, my dear children.” Then with Her arms extended, She prayed over us for a time and blessed us with Her Motherly Blessing. She blessed all the religious articles brought for blessing. Our Lady prayed especially for all the sick present. Then Ivan recommended all of us and our intentions and especially the sick to Our Lady. Our Lady then said:
“Dear children, also today the Mother calls you: renew my messages, live my messages. Dear children, I am with you and I intercede before my Son for all of you. Pray. Pray, my dear children. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
After, we prayed with Our Lady an Our Father and a Glory Be and then Our Lady left in an illuminated Sign of the Cross saying, “Go in peace, my dear children.”
How many mothers have made the journey to Medjugorje with their children for the sole purpose of having their children blessed in an apparition with Our Lady? Mothers from all over the world have made the long, arduous pilgrimage to Medjugorje bringing their children, healthy and sick, to have the experience of their lifetime. What will these two children witness in their lifetimes, seeing the fulfillment of the apparitions of Our Lady? Imagine them as grandparents, after everything has come to pass of what Our Lady foretold in Medjugorje, sharing with their grandchildren their memories of being at the Blue Cross with Our Lady on June 9, 2008.
We are full steam ahead in preparation for July 1-5 and Our Lady’s apparitions with Marija’s visit. We are hearing stories of people who are coming who were just informed about it and immediately decided to come. You can pass to all you know the July 1-5 brochure by clicking here. Some people are ripe to receive it and your efforts with God’s grace can be the cause of someone’s salvation. This is a unique opportunity God is offering.

“Dear children, when God calls men, it is really a great thing. Think about how it would be sad to let pass those opportunities that God allows without taking them.”
Many people are coming for the same reason as the mother to the left who brought her children to Medjugorje, to have their children and families blessed in the presence of Our Lady and consecrated to Her Immaculate Heart."
